Product Details

The ARP 204-4706 head stud kit is engineered specifically for Volkswagen and Audi 1.9L turbo diesel engines, providing superior clamping force and reliability over factory head bolts. This complete kit features ARP's premium 8740 chromoly steel studs that are heat-treated and precision ground to deliver consistent torque loading and prevent head gasket failure under high boost and performance conditions.

Key Features:

  • Premium 8740 chromoly steel construction for exceptional strength and durability
  • Parallel ground washer system ensures even load distribution across the head surface
  • 180,000 PSI tensile strength provides superior clamping force over OEM bolts
  • Complete kit includes studs, premium washers, and high-quality nuts
  • Precision rolled threads after heat-treat process for better fatigue resistance
  • Includes ARP Ultra-Torque fastener assembly lubricant for accurate torque readings

ARP head studs are the preferred choice for turbocharged diesel applications, especially when increasing boost pressure or expecting higher cylinder pressures. The stud design allows for more accurate and consistent clamping force compared to traditional through-bolts, reducing the risk of head gasket failure and head lifting. Each kit is manufactured to exacting tolerances in ARP's Southern California facility and comes with detailed installation instructions.

The real value of this product is it comes with torque specs. The bolt version I am sure are good if you knew what spec to torque them down to. The bolt version is significantly cheaper but if you try to torque them to 125 ft/lb they snap and you have to start over. After trying twice with the bolts and messing up 2 head gaskets using the studs and having the torque specs this went together smooth and easy.

Only place to have these bearings

Great website

Wish I had a number to talk directly w seller

Easy to find the part and get it ordered. It arrive on time as promised.

Prompt delivery. Excellent packaging. But most of all, items were the perfect fit. I will definitely consider Autoplicity for future purchases.

The website is easy to use, images are clear, gave me confidence the part will be correct.

Amazon Pay did not work

It was easy

For the over-the-winter garage storage of my 911, the Rail Ramps Flatstopper product has eliminated the need to move the car over the winter in order to avoid the tires developing flat spots.

These guys had great pricing and got my order to me very quickly. I would do business with them again for sure!

I searched the entire web looking for the best price on my item and found that Autoplicity beat everybody else in price & quality. Search no more!

reasonable prices and free ship
